Turnip Greens


I first made these as part of a traditional Sunday dinner, along which hush puppies and fried chicken––quite the yummy combination! I prefer collard greens myself, but was pleasantly surprised at how good turnip greens are too, and they take much less time! Collards have to cook the better part of the day and these only take about fifteen minutes.

Peanut oil
1/2 to 1 onion
1 (or a few) clove of garlic
turnip greens, a few bunches
Seasoning to taste: pepper, salt, red pepper, red pepper flakes etc.
1 tsp or so of bullion (or I used Better Than Bullion)

Heat some peanut oil in a sauce pan, add chopped onion and garlic, sauté, then add greens, and sauté for several more minutes. Add some salt, pepper, red pepper, red pepper flakes, and other flavors to season. Add 3/4 or 1 cup or so of water and the bullion, and continue cooking on medium to medium low for another ten minutes or so. You could use some veggie or meat broth instead of water or bullion.
